"These new features raise the bar on app delivery and represent a new frictionless channel for app delivery. Customers want convenience and control and that's what Ignite 3.0 delivers,"said Bill Stone, CEO of Digital Turbine. "We are actively investing in the research, development and evolution of our products based on customer and partner feedback. There is a great deal of interest in these new features, with featured deployments already scheduled with large mobile operators. Advertisers and agencies are eager to find new app distribution channels beyond crowded stores and legacy methods."

"I'm very excited to introduce our Ignite Delivers feature," said Harris Thurmond, VP of Product for Digital Turbine. "Similar to the way publishers can link apps on Google Play, our new Ignite Delivers feature enables direct app access using a proprietary url for a better, frictionless end user experience. Reducing app install friction not only improves the customer's experience, it also increases conversion rates making it a win-win for advertisers and end users alike."

Evolution of Ignite Platform

Ignite 1.0

Ignite 1.0 set a new standard for app delivery and device monetization. Legacy preloads often took months and delivered outdated, apps that users couldn't remove. With Ignite, operators saved time, cost and improved the customer experience by delivering the latest apps.

Ignite 2.0

Building upon the original Ignite foundation, Ignite 2.0 introduced increased functionality via new delivery methods for the operator. Features included a startup wizard, SDK, and the ability to integrate with external systems – ultimately providing operators more options, and more flexibility.

Ignite 3.0

Focused on improving the customer experience, Ignite 3.0 reflects a step-change in app delivery and discovery. Ignite Delivers is an innovative way to provide users frictionless access to the hottest apps. New integrable pay options enable simple one-click payments and folders optimize app discovery and recommendation through a relevant, contextual approach.
